egypt needs western money. european and importantly, united states money just to survive economically. the sense is i don't think any of these people want to go to a ground war. israel has an election in two months. they don't want dead soldiers. netanyahu doesn't want dead soldiers. egypt can't afford for things to go south for them as well. i get the feeling that everyone is waiting for a truce to come out to be brought up probably in egypt, and everyone can say they both won and go back to the highly unsatisfactory status quo. >> let's listen to one egyptian official what they believe could be a peace treaty. >> respecting the peace treaty does not mean they're indifferent what is going on along our borders, and what is touching our -- we cannot be indifferent to human suffering. so we are abiding by our obligations, but we are active to help establish real peace in the area. >> what do you make of that? >> we were saying before, there is a need for this truce to come out. i think there's probably being one

he has demonstrated he can actually involve the president of egypt. egypt's first civilian president, but a member of the muslim brotherhood, and to essentially enlist him on his side. the israelis avoided a ground incursion to gaza, which clearly they didn't want, and thief tested iron dome, which frankly, works very well, and they have used it essentially as a test. they know now how it works well and where it needs to be improved, so hamas and israel, i think, on this one really came out pretty well. >> so for netanyahu, given he is up for re-election soon, does this kind of cement his positioning, as you just said? it shows that he has a better cooperation with president obama, and perhaps puts him in the situation or in a position where maybe he wins a few extra points with the israeli people and maybe even on the world stage? >> i think there's no question that thering some development. when elections are held on january 22nd, benjamin netanyahu will be re-elected. he is now the fourth israeli prime minister to serve in two non-consecutive terms
